As one 77-year-old London grande dame faces up to her death sentence, another - life-affirming, iconoclastic painter, novelist and journalist Molly Parkin (82), describes how the iconic art deco Earl’s Court Exhibition Centre on which demolition has begun, has been central to her life, in an alternative Queen’s Speech on YouTube, hitting out at politicians who have facilitated the loss of the much-loved, still-viable, cultural and commercial asset London and our country is about to be robbed of.
Molly Parkin also speaks out about the West Kensington and Gibbs Green estates and the Lillie Bridge depot - similarly under threat of demolition in the Earls Court "Masterplan".
Still going strong and her artistic prowess undimmed, Molly is participating in Selfridges "Bright Old Things" (starting 8th January, 2015 and running until the end of February) which will feature a replica of Molly's studio/home in the front window, corner of Duke Street off Oxford Street. There is also an exhibition of other paintings on 6th February, 2015 at Forman's Smokehouse Gallery in Hackney Wick, London.
Please donate to support our campaign via this website and share Molly's message far and wide via your social networks. We will publish further extracts from Molly's film early in the New Year.
Like Molly, we are fighting to the finish!
